hi everyone, I've just signed up as I religiously stalk these pages and I know how good you all are at advice....

I joined slimming world last week as I'm hoping to lose over 3st to get back to my pre baby/babies weight lol going from 13st to 10 stone. However, I was eating healthy the week before I joined slimming world as I wanted to see if what it was like before I started spending my maternity allowance on a group. So lost about 6lbs now I've joined slimming world last WI , and first, was a meagre 0.5lb off now I'm worried this week I'm not going to lose anything at all....

As you had a big loss the week before you joined I'm guessing thats why you didn't have much off the first week of SW.
Stick at it and look at it over a month not week by week. We all know hormones can play apart in the ups and downs of weight loss. One day I can weigh 1lb heavier then the day before yet the third day I could of loss that 1lb.

Well done on your loss so far. When I did SW I lost quite a bit in the first week and after that it was very much 1/2 lb - 2lbs loss a week...and the weeks when I had done really well I seemed to lose a little and the weeks I'd done badly I'd lost more! SW is defo not and instant fix IMO...which is good....it's defo a long haul diet. And especially as you are on the lighter side already I would guess anything more than a pound a week on average would be an unhealthy amount to lose for someone of your size....stick at it & good luck!
